Being 'round you is driving me crazy
Watching you run is making me lazy
You're trying to buy a place in my head
Telling me lines I've already read
Speaking my name to try to confuse me
Say it again you're starting to lose me

That's alright, I'm okay
It happens every single day
It's all the same
But I'm not blind

It's all about you
Not me
It's all about the things that you're expecting me to be
There's not enough time
To live
And all that you're expecting me to give

It's all about you
Not
Me
It's all about you
Not
Me

You're building my prison brick by brick
Eating your words is making me sick
You get what you want 'cause nothing is sacred
You're reading my mind and leaving me naked
You say I gotta give before I receive it
One of these days I'll believe it

It's all about you
Not me
It's all about the things that you're expecting me to be
There's not enough time
To live
And all that you're expecting me to give

It's all about you
Not
Me
It's all about you
Not
Me

That's alright, I'm okay
It happens every single day
It's all the same
But I'm not blind

It's all about you
Not me
It's all about the things that you're expecting me to be
There's not enough time
To live
And all that you're expecting me to give

It's all about you
Not
Me
It's all about you
Not
Me
It's all about you
Not
Me

General CommentThis is the first song that Dream Theater wrote with someone that is not in the band.

It was written by John Myung and Desmond Child(the "'80s rock hit-maker"). DT's producer at that time, Kevin Shirley listened to the song and felt it needed stronger more powerful chorus and that's how Desmod got invovled and this master piece is the outcome. :)

This is, of course, not the meaning of this great song, just some background...

General CommentThis song is a bit too "pop" like... of course, for a rock song. Dream Theater really should've kept this a b-side I think... they would have been much better off with something like Eve. It's kinda catchy though... but not for Dream Theater fans. Of course, they know this already :P

General CommentI think Cover My Eyes could have possibly been in place of this song or maybe Take Away My Pain or Just Let Me Breathe. Yeah. Cover My Eyes instead of Just Let Me Breathe. I'm so burning Falling Into Infinity like that. It's too bad I'll never get to see Dream Theater on MTV or anything, I think that'd be pretty cool, lol. Not that I'd actually see any music on MTV anyway =P

General CommentIf you ever get a chance, pick up Dream Theater's "Trial of Singles". Its a collection of demos and rare songs...They have the original of this on there, and IMO, the original blows this out of the water. The chorus, the most "pop" part is very different, there's another keyboard section...much better overall.
